Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness takes the continuing saga of Azeroth to the next level as the battle rages on over land, sea, and air. Using new weapons of war, including Dragons, Battleships, Elven Archers, Zepplins, Death Knights and Juggernauts, both Humans and Orcs must use combined-arms tactics in an effort to become the true rulers of Azeroth.

With maps four times larger than the original Warcraft, up to eight player network support, SVGA graphics, an improved interface, and an included map, unit, and sound editor, Warcraft II has become a smash hit. It’s sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide, and has been translated into French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. Also available is the expansion set, Beyond the Dark Portal, which adds two new campaigns and even tougher missions. – Blizzard Entertainment

The second chapter in the Warcraft saga. Not available in digital format (at least not officially; yet), but may be possible to find on Ebay/Amazon/garage sales/etc. I have converted my CD version to an ISO file, but the file must be mounted to play. This game is playable on most versions of Windows, but may require the use of some compatibility mode settings. I used the Run as Administrator setting, and it runs great on my Windows version 8 x64 computer.

{Contains both the original Tides of Darkness and the expansion pack Beyond the Dark Portal}
